Video image processing systems(VIPS) offer numerous benefits to transportation models and applications, due to their ability to monitor traffic in real time. VIPS based on wide-area detection, i.e., multi-lane surveillance algorithm provide traffic parameters with single camera such as flow and velocity, as well as occupancy and density. However, most current commercial VIPS utilize a tripwire detection algorithm that examines image intensity changes in the detection regions to indicate vehicle presence and passage, i.e., they do not identify individual vehicles as unique targets. If VIPS are developed to track individual vehicles and thus trace vehicle trajectories, many existing transportation models will benefit from more detailed information of individual vehicles. Furthermore, additional information obtained from the vehicle trajectories will improve incident detection by identifying lane change maneuvers and acceleration/deceleration patterns. The objective of this research was to relate traffic safety to VIPS tracking and this paper has developed a computer vision system of monitoring individual vehicle trajectories based on image processing, and offer the detailed information, for example, volumes, speed, and occupancy rate as well as traffic information via tripwire image detectors. Also the developed system has been verified by comparing with commercial VIP detectors.

Fluorescent images using near-infrared light have no worry about radioactivity, and images can be checked in real time during surgery. Therefore experiments using fluorescent images for monitoring lymph node biopsy are actively under way. Fluorescent imaging equipment uses high heat-generating components such as LED and camera, thus uses water-cooling system as a stable heating suppression means. However in the fluorescent image equipment, the water cooling system takes a large volume which is a disadvantage in terms of miniaturization of the equipment. Even if the air cooling system is used for miniaturizing the equipment, heat generation is a problem. In this paper, we have experimented with the air cooling method using PWM control for the miniaturization of the equipment, and confirmed the constant quality of the fluorescent image and the suppression of the heat generation without any problems even when the equipment is used for a long time.

비디오에서의 물체 추적은 컴퓨터비젼(computer vision)의 주요 연구 분야로 지능형 로봇, 무인 감시 체제 등의 영역의 핵심 기술로 여겨지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중물체추적을 통해 카메라로 부터 입력된 동영상에서 특정 장소를 지나가는 사람들을 추적함으로서, 그 지역에서의 인구의 이동 패턴을 추출하고 자 한다. 물체 추적은 블롭 추적(blob tracking) 방식을 이용하며, 이를 위해 정확한 전경물체 추출, 추출된 이미지 블롭(blob)과 기존 트랙과의 연결, 새로운 물체(사람)의 등장과 퇴장등의 작업을 수행한다. 추적된 물체들이 궤적을 통해, 시간의 변화에 따른 그 지역에서의 인구의 밀도, 주 이동 경로, 방향 등의 변화를 추출한다. 이러한 통계치는 해당 지역의 개발 정책 수립 및 시장성 조사를 위한 2차 데이타로 활용할 수 있다.

감시 카메라 환경에서 돈사 내 돼지들을 탐지 및 추적에 관한 연구는 효율적인 돈사 관리측면에서 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 그러나 깊이 정보 내 노이즈와 돈방 내 돼지와 배경의 깊이 정보 값이 유사하여 개별 돼지만을 탐지하기란 쉽지 않다. 특히 천장에 설치된 센서로부터 획득된 벽과 바닥 경계에 위치한 돼지를 탐지하기 위한 방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 노이즈에 덜 민감한 바닥 배경을 이용하여 바닥에 위치한 돼지의 부분을 먼저 탐지한 후, 벽에 위치한 돼지의 나머지 부분을 수퍼픽셀과 영역확장 기법으로 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과 돈방 내 벽과 바닥 경계에 위치한 돼지를 정확히 탐지하였으며, 영상 1장 당 수행시간이 5msec로 실시간 처리에 문제가 없음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we proposed image processing technique for automatic real time fire and smoke detection in tunnel environment. To avoid the large scale of damage of fire occurred in the tunnel, it is necessary to have a system to minimize and to discover the incident as fast as possible. The fire and smoke detection is different from the forest fire detection as there are elements such as car and tunnel lights and others that are different from the forest environment so that an indigenous algorithm has to be developed. The two algorithms proposed in this paper, are able to detect the exact position, at the earlier stage of incident.

길이 좁고 차도와 인도의 구분이 없는 골목길의 특성상 사각지대가 많고 보행자의 동선을 예측하기 힘들어 교통사고가 많이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 AI 를 활용, 영상 내 사물을 추적하여 골목길에서의 사고를 예방하는 시스템을 제안한다. 해당 시스템은 Object - Detection & Tracking 을 사용하여 보행자 및 차량을 식별·추적하여 두 개 이상의 사물이 동시에 교차로에 접근 시 사고 예방 알람을 발생시킨다. 이 시스템을 전국에 설치되어 있는 CCTV 에 활용하면 추가적인 비용과 설치 시간에 제한받지 않고 전국적으로 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We suggest that HSV Color Space may be used to detect a vehicle detecting system at nighttime. It is essential that a licence plate should be extracted when a vehicle is under surveillance. To do so, a licence plate may be enlarged to certain size after the aimed vehicle is taken picture from a distance by using Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera. Either Mean-Shift or Optical Flow Algorithm is generally used for the purpose of a vehicle detection and trace, even though those algorithms have tendency to have difficulty in detection and trace a vehicle at night. By utilizing the fact that a headlight or taillight of a vehicle stands out when an input image is converted in to HSV Color Space, we are able to achieve improvement on those algorithms for the vehicle detection and trace. In this paper, we have shown that at night, the suggested method is efficient enough to detect a vehicle 93.9% from the front and 97.7% from the back.

This study relates to a method and device for extracting and tracking moving objects. In particular, objects are extracted using different images between adjacent images, and the location information of the extracted object is continuously transmitted to provide accurate location information of at least one moving object. It relates to a method and device for extracting and tracking moving objects based on tracking moving objects. People tracking, which started as an expression of the interaction between people and computers, is used in many application fields such as robot learning, object counting, and surveillance systems. In particular, in the field of security systems, cameras are used to recognize and track people to automatically detect illegal activities. The importance of developing a surveillance system, that can detect, is increasing day by day.

The objectives of this study were to develop an image processing algorithm for finding the sick or the dead layers(SDL) rearing in the multi-tier layer battery, which is a core technology of remote monitoring systems for layers, and to test the performance of algorithm developed in the experimental poultry housing. Based on the literature study and experiment, the standing up of layer was set as a criterion for judging layers whether sick or dead. Then, by the criterion set, an algorithm was developed. The image processing algorithm developed was tested how well it could and SDL at the experimental poultry housing. Test results showed that its monitoring correctness of layers standing up in the cages having all healthy layers was $92\%$, and $96\%$ in the cages having SDL. Therefore, it would be concluded that the image processing algorithm developed in this study was well suited to the purpose of development.
